Resumen
Since April 2011, a huge and well-articulated social movement has used the streets of Chilean cities claiming for changes to the educational system. This article reflects about the role of public space and the city in the process of social transformation and deepen democracy addressed by citizens. The author builds a bridge between the emergence of a dialogue in the city, and the city as part of the transformation process, through five scenes.
First, the “city as a conversation space”. The second one is about the asymmetries and “power” structures that are the frame of those conversation; such asymmetries imply the emergence of “conflicts” as a synonym of “democracy”, which are the third and fourth scenes. The fifth scene emerges from a society attached to order and resistant to dissent, where the “cities” face the challenge of embracing social changes, and at the same time transform themselves to support the process of democratic deepening.
